"Falaj 2" program. The Falaj 2 class inshore
patrol vessels feature advanced stealth characteristics
to reduce their detectability.

class were built locally by Abu Dhabi Ship Building.

the Baynunah class are heavily armed for their class.
Designed for coastal warfare, these corvettes may
also conduct blue water operations.
